true

write a response you could use if a friend offers you a vape.

why do peers influence teen vaping decisions, and how can you resist it?

Explanation:

1. For the first question, all listed strategies are valid peer refusal methods for vaping: making an excuse avoids direct conflict, confident refusal sets clear boundaries, leaving removes you from the pressure, so all are effective.
2. Planning ahead (like deciding on refusal strategies) prepares you to handle peer pressure, making it easier to avoid vaping, so the statement is true.
3. A polite, clear response directly refuses the offer while maintaining the friendship.
4. Peers influence teens due to a desire for acceptance and fitting in. Resisting involves pre-planning responses and surrounding yourself with supportive peers.

Answer:

1. All of the above
2. True
3. Example: "No, thanks, I don't vape. It's not something I'm interested in."
4. Peers influence teen vaping decisions because teens often want to fit in, gain approval, or avoid feeling left out. To resist this, you can prepare a clear refusal response ahead of time, surround yourself with peers who also avoid vaping, and remind yourself of the health risks associated with vaping.
